This may not work out in the following scenario,
- Create /fb from /trunk
- merge -r51from /trunk to /fb This results in a reflective commit r60
Now if merge /fb to /trunk working copy if we take the special diff
approach of applying (/trunk@59 ~ /fb@60) it can give rise to a false
result as /fb does not have all the changes from /trunk but only the r51.
